The Chicago Blackhawks ended their losing streak Saturday night, Jan. 18, by defeating the Pacific Division powerhouse Las Vegas Golden Knights, 5-3. I will be honest about my reaction to this game: it's one of overexcitement.

Tomas Hertl scored twice and had an assist, and Shea Theodore had two assists for the Golden Knights (29-14-3), who have lost three in a row and five of six (1-5-0). Ilya Samsonov made 18 saves and had an assist. It was the second of back-to-back games for Vegas, which lost 3-2 at the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday.

Tyler Bertuzzi scored two power-play goals and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the slumping Vegas Golden Knights 5-3 on Saturday to end a four-game losing streak.

Jones has responded to his rock-bottom moment Monday with two much-improved performances. He notched three points Saturday, including the tiebreaking goal, in the Hawks' 5-3 victory.
